Modules
RapidMart ships seven modules: Grocery, Food, Pharmacy, Shops, Parcel, Doctor consultation and Lab test. All of them are on after installation. If your business doesn’t offer one, switch it off.
You can switch a module off in two places:
- For the whole platform: Admin → Settings → Modules. Turn off the modules you don’t run (each one shows how many approved stores it has), then Save. At least one module has to stay on.
- For one market: Admin → Markets → edit the market → Modules in this market. Untick the modules that market doesn’t run, then Save market. Other markets keep them. Settings → Modules lists the markets that have switched modules off.
A module that is off for the platform is off in every market.
What customers see
Section titled “What customers see”A module that is off disappears from the customer app and the website:
- its tiles on the home screen, and links to it from other screens (for example “Consult a doctor” on the pharmacy home);
- its stores, products and categories, in lists, search and checkout;
- its rows on the profile screen (Prescriptions, Consultations, Lab bookings, Parcel history);
- its page on the public website.
Customers can’t start anything new in it either: no parcel request, prescription upload, doctor booking or lab booking. Past orders stay in their order history.
What stores see
Section titled “What stores see”A store in a module that is off is hidden from customers. Its store panel shows a “Hidden from customers” notice. Its till (POS), orders and earnings keep working.
The admin menu hides the sections that belong only to modules that are off for the whole platform: Parcel requests, Doctors, Consultations, Prescriptions, Lab tests and the Food module. Their pages still open from a direct link, so you can manage older records. Switch a module back on at any time; nothing is deleted.
A customer sees the modules of the market they are delivering to. To run a module in only some zones of a market, keep it on and only add stores for it in those zones.
